The second event of the competition was not watched by anyone. The judges’ scores were actually summarized through the mermaid’s reports. Therefore, in addition to seeing how the warriors entered the water, the audience on that day only saw how the warriors led the water. The order in which the hostages left the water.
So, after the second project ended, a situation like this emerged - everyone was eager to know what happened under the lake, so Ron and Daphne became the subjects of almost everyone's questioning in Hogwarts.
For the first time in his life, Ron, like Harry, was the center of attention. He told the story over and over again, slightly different each time. At first, what he said was quite factual - in Professor McGonagall's office, Dumbledore used magic to hypnotize the hostages, and first assured them that they were in absolutely no danger and would wake up as soon as they emerged from the water.
However, a week later, Ron told a thrilling kidnapping story, describing how he fought with his bare hands against fifty armed mermaids who first forced him to submit before tying him up.
Daphne became Schelling's most cherished person, and everyone made fun of her all day long. But at this time, she had already shed the shyness and immaturity of a young girl, and showed the magnanimity that a noble family hostess should have. She always thanked everyone for their condolences and responded to everyone's concern for her. She was not shy about admitting that she was Xie Lin's official girlfriend.
According to Xie Lin's original prediction, since he was already famous and had a wife, it stands to reason that his popularity should slowly fade away, or at least he should give up the top spot on the girls' dream lover list - but it didn't happen.
I don’t know when Xie Lin’s relationship with Murray and Astoria began to spread. Everyone knew that Xie Lin not only had one girlfriend, but also that Xie Lin had several ex-girlfriends. Scandals about girls who had always been close to each other, such as Zhang Qiu, Luna, and Susan, also began to spread.
This creates a strange phenomenon - girls seem to smell hidden opportunities. Well, if you can't be a real girlfriend, isn't it exciting to be a secret lover?
As a result, the popularity of the "Warrior Sherrin Fans Support Club" has increased again, and it is extremely strong and weak. The number of female fans accounts for almost 80% of the entire support club.
This is a pain for the male classmates at Hogwarts. In the past Hogwarts, once male students reached the fifth grade or above, they could extend their magic to lower-grade girls... ah, no, extend a hand of friendship, and then through daily interactions Slowly the relationship develops, and eventually they develop into a couple.
In this current class, many senior male students suddenly found that their advantages as senior students were gone. The junior girls did not abandon them at all. As a result, they clearly had only a few years left to graduate, so they suddenly became alarmed. I will be reduced to a single person and miss out on the essential youth experience of campus love.
Cedric Diggory had always been interested in Ravenclaw's junior student Qiu Zhang. After hearing the scandal between her and Xie Lin, he could only shake his head helplessly and gave up the idea of pursuing her. Fortunately, he was good-looking, and he ended up getting together with Angelina Johnson, a sixth-grade Gryffindor girl.
After Roger Davis was dumped on the day of the Yule Ball, he suddenly found himself in a dilemma. He could no longer find his next girlfriend. The third place on the list of dream lovers actually became uninterested. . So like a dog, he tried to find his blond ex-girlfriend and try to get back together with her, but he didn't expect that the other party just rejected him and didn't even look at him.
Although Valentine's Day has passed, Xie Lin still received countless confessions or date cards, some of which suddenly appeared in his dormitory (Xie Lin set up defensive magic in the dormitory, but it was ineffective against inanimate objects), and some It was brought to him by owl during breakfast, and some of the braver ones handed it to him directly in the corridor...
The content inside was either a confession of affection, a request to develop a secret lover relationship, or an invitation to go on a date in some secret corner on the weekend... Xie Lin looked at a card with a bright red lipstick printed on the bottom, and was really attracted by the girl. They were shocked by their boldness.
Brothers, it’s really not the brother who wants to pick up all the girls in the school, but the girls who want to pick up the girls! Xie Lin hypocritically apologized to the vast number of male compatriots in his heart, especially those who are about to graduate and have not yet found a female partner...
This class of graduates will probably be the class with the most singles in history. I wonder if they will be recorded in history and be infamy for thousands of years?
After a few days like this, the excitement of the discussion will gradually fade away, and everyone's life will return to the usual routine.
Schelling became busier.
Only the day after the game ended, a very serious case of mysterious disappearance of students broke out in Hogwarts, and four of them disappeared at once.
What is really strange is that all the missing students are Slytherin students, including the 7th-year male and female prefects, the 6th-year female prefect and the 6th-year Quidditch goalkeeper. Gallup took a leave of absence from school because he was infected with the werewolf curse earlier. This time he entered Hogwarts because he sneaked in from Hogsmeade village, so he was not counted as a missing person.
This made it impossible for Dumbledore to suppress the matter even if he tried. During the second-year basilisk incident, all the victims were wizards of Muggle descent. Their families had no idea what was going on at Hogwarts. Apart from the children's daily letters home, there was no other channel. Find out how your child is doing.
However, what happened now was the children of these pure-blood families, and the situation was completely different. Almost the day after the children disappeared, their families received the news.
The Foley family, the Slughorn family, the Selwyn family, and the Blige family worked together in the Ministry of Magic and the media to put great pressure on Dumbledore, and even came to Hogwarts to cause trouble. Dumbledore must be punished. An explanation. Just kidding, the missing people are all the direct elite children of their four families, who are the pillars of the family's future. It would be a lie to say that they are not panic in their hearts.
The Ministry of Magic has also been involved in the investigation. Although Fudge still had to give Dumbledore some face, he still had a bottom line in his actions. After all, he needed the resources of the pure-blood family to get to the top.
After some negotiation, he finally sent two elite Aurors to be stationed at Hogwarts for a long time to facilitate the investigation of this strange disappearance. Among the Aurors sent, one of them was Scrimgeour's confidant, Gadwin Robards. This guy was well aware of the friendship between Scrimgeour and Schelling, but under Dun Under Bledo's eyes, the two of them had no contact at all on the surface; the other Auror was Fudge's confidant, John Durx.
Dumbledore was also puzzled by this bizarre disappearance.
These missing students are not weak at all. As the principal, although he dare not say that he knows every student well, he still knows the strength of the prefects.
Even Miles Blige, who had the most humble background and achievements, was well-known at Hogwarts. He was a master who was unwilling to be left alone. Before the previous Quidditch finals, Slytherin always He can almost be seen in a series of conflicts with Gryffindor. His jinxes and hexes made him slip away, sending the Gryffindor wizard to the school hospital for several days at a time.
After some searching by Dumbledore and two Aurors, it seemed that the missing people were still seen on the day of the second event. However, the next day all these people disappeared silently.
